La Roche-Posay Lipikar AP+MAX Triple Repair Moisturizing Body Cream | Face & Body Lotion for Dry Skin with Shea Butter & Niacinamide | Gentle Moisturizer for Very Dry, Rough & Sensitive Skin

I found this product while traveling in France (although bought this one here). I love European products due to their very stringent standards for clean and safe ingredients. This was hands down the salesperson top choice for body lotion and said many others she works with love it. It's been a great product. Over the last few years of living in Georgia and cold winters with a warm house the dry out factor is big. Middle age doesn't help - ahem. It works very well, absorbs well (as long as I don't overdo it). I've found it hydrating enough that after a few daily applications it allows to take a day off in between. It's not only taken away the dryness but made my skin super soft. It's a good heavy lifter product, while not the most sophisticated. I use something different for the decollate area with more age fighting ingredients. The smell is also not good at all. That's truly the only bummer. I'd def. not have continued because of that but it works so darn well!!! The ingredient list is slightly different than the one in France but their level of being clearn are the same.

A high-quality body cream that moisturizes, protects, and help repair the skin barrier. It works to provide dry and thirsty skin with moisture and hydration leaving the skin soft and smooth. Because it is thick and rich cream it is important not to overuse the amount of lotion when applying to the skin or it may feel too heavy with an oil feel. I have found it is best to apply right out of the shower or bath while the skin is damp, for better absorption. It is great for babies, kids, full body use as well as facial care. Great quality from a long-time skin care line backed by dermatologist that is an excellent value with proven results.

I am going through chemo which leaves your skin very dry(although I have dry skin anyway). I love this lotion is very hydrating. Feels thick when you pump it but it absorbs right in immediately. Leaves your skin feeling very soft. No scent.

Im 40 with super sensative, hormonal acne ridden skin. I also just lost 80 lbs and this stuff helped my skin bouce back beautifully. Litterally anything breaks me out. I need a better moisturizer in the cold months to prevent super dry skin espexially on my cheeks and mouth area. I had great success with Bare Minerals but they eventually discontinued the wash and moisturizer I liked best from them, which led me to this. Now ill start by saying it has no scent. Maybe the Niacinimide does slightly but it goes away quickly. Not a deal breaker! Its also very thick, also not a huge issue, which I have a great tip for below. When I saw "face and body" I truly thought no way. No way is that good for anyone, especially me with my issues. Well I was so wrong. 3 weeks in and my acne actually healed on my face and back. I'm shocked. It also has made my skin SO HEALTHY, Glowy and smooth. My skin is so visibly hydrated and not at all sticky. THATS WHAT WE ARE ALL LOOKING FOR. I want to let everyone in on a little trick I've found. If you mist filtered water onto any area you are applying lotion to, prior to applying it, not only does it stretch your product way further, but it helps your skin retain good water with the product in the top layers of your skin. Or apply it to damp skin straight out of the shower. I've found that it helps me reduce all sensative skin issues just by adding a spritz of water, and rubbing it into the area fully until absorbed. I will definitely be purchasing this again. I think this might be my forever lotion.

I picked up La Roche-Posay Lipikar AP+ Triple Repair Moisturizing Cream largely because Accutane turned my skin into Sahara Desert levels of dryness — not just on my face but all over my body. I needed something that could handle both sensitive facial skin and body dryness without irritation, and this has genuinely been one of the best all-around lotions I’ve found. First off: the texture is thick and rich without feeling greasy. It glides on easily, absorbs in a way that actually feels like it’s repairing the skin, and provides lasting hydration throughout the day. On my face, it’s heavier than a typical lotion but not as occlusive or pore-clogging as some balms — a balance I haven’t consistently found in other products. On my body (especially elbows, knees, and forearms), it noticeably softens rough patches and reduces that tight, itchy feeling that so many moisturizers just don’t fully address. A few things stand out that make this worth recommending: Shea Butter + Niacinamide: The shea butter gives real, nourishing moisture, and the niacinamide helps soothe sensitivity without stinging. For someone on Accutane, this combination feels genuinely calming. Sensitive-Skin Friendly: Fragrance-free and gentle, it hasn’t caused any flare-ups or irritation — which is huge because my skin is very reactive right now. Face & Body Use: I like that I don’t have to juggle a separate face cream and body lotion; I can keep this at my desk, in my bathroom, and on my nightstand. That said, there are a couple of caveats worth calling out, especially if you’re considering this for everyday use: Price vs. Size: At over $20 for 400 ml, it’s on the pricier side for what you’re getting. I absolutely think the quality and performance justify the cost for someone with really dry or sensitive skin, but if you’re only mildly dry or on a budget, you might find similar hydration from cheaper generics. Thickness: Because it’s a richer cream, it can feel heavy in hot or humid weather — not a deal-breaker, but something to be aware of if you prefer lightweight lotions. How I use it (and why it works well): Morning & Night: I apply a thin layer to my face after cleansing, and a generous layer on my body right after showering while skin is still slightly damp. Layering Strategy: On really dry nights, I’ll follow with a lighter occlusive (like Vaseline) in just the driest spots — the Lipikar cream acts like a deeply nourishing base that really enhances the seal. Anywhere Skin Feels Stressed: It’s become my go-to for irritated patches, rough arms, flaky legs, and as a post-shave balm too. Overall, this isn’t just another lotion — it’s genuinely improved how my skin feels on Accutane. The cost per ounce is higher than drugstore alternatives, but the noticeable difference in moisture, soothing ability, and versatility makes it a product I’ve repurchased and will continue to reach for as long as my skin demands deeper hydration. Highly recommend if you want a no-nonsense, effective, sensitive-skin moisturizer and aren’t turned off by the price tag.

Meine Haut im Gesicht ist sehr empfindlich und ich kann nicht vieles verwenden. Aber diese Creme funktioniert klasse. Keine Pickel, keine Rötungen, alles klasse

Was pleasantly surprised by its smooth application and long-lasting effect. I now use it first thing in the morning before my sunblock; right after my shower for face and décolletage. Before bed, after a good application of my serum, I lock all in with it. Wonderful stuff that last many hours. Face look distinctively moisturised. Qualifying note - I live in the tropic.

My newborn baby started developing eczema after a couple of months. I had been trying aquaphor but didn’t notice a change (and it was super greasy). A friend recommended this cream. I rubbed it on the dry areas after each diaper change (mostly behind her knees and back). Within a couple of days, I noticed a huge improvement! Her skin is so soft now. Miracle worker! (The only thing I don’t love is that it smells like black liquorice - but the smell fades pretty quickly after application.)

Unser Baby hatte mit 4 Monaten zunehmende Schorfbildung auf dem Kopf und teilweise im Gesicht, dazu Juckreiz. Darum erhielten wir von unserer Kinderärztin Proben verschiedener Cremes zur Linderung. Wir haben uns dann für dieses Produkt entschieden, weil es nicht nur die Haut weich macht, sondern auch den Juckreiz lindert, sich gut verteilen lässt und wirklich schnell einzieht. Während der schlimmsten Phase unterstützen wir die Behandlung mit Öl zum Anlösen der Schuppen vor dem Baden, was gut funktionierte. Nach dem Baden, sowie morgens und abends wurde die Creme aufgetragen, und was soll ich sagen: Nach 2 Wochen war das Problem größtenteils beseitigt! Weil die Creme so sparsam dosiert werden kann und so schnell geholfen hat, haben wir jetzt noch jede Menge übrig für kleinere "Rückfälle", aber auch ganz allgemein bei rissigen Hände im Winter, trockene Gesichtshaut oder rauhen Füßen kommt die Creme erfolgreich zum Einsatz. Super!

Good and fresh moisturiser
